idosubaru Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 i went to replace my alternator plug today with a new one. i cut the old one off and when i got inside the plug crumbled instantly into pieces leaving me with only two wires. a black one and a white one. i *think* i recall how they go, but want to be sure before i put them together. if anyone knows, can check an FSM or can look, help me verify which wire goes to which terminal? or can i test with a multimeter and verify some way? i'm supposed to leave tonight at 6pm on a road trip....grrrrr.....i got 5.5 hours to figure this out.

idosubaru Posted January 26, 2007 Author Share Posted January 26, 2007 mikeshoup replied on the xt6 group: "The bottom of the T is the smaller wire (goes to the dash light), and the larger wire is the top of the T (comes from the fusible links)" worked like a charm! thanks mike!

daeron Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 Lesson to be learned: snag a few spare harnesses (of various sorts) from the boneyard, so that next time you have a spare to look at (even if you dont want to install it) I had the same question when swapping the nissan maxima alternator into my car.. but then looked and saw each had a REALLY thick wire in the T, and a really small one. that made it easy.
